General: The only cure for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a bone marrow transplant. Antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals are used to treat infections that are commonly associated with SCID. Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) can help prevent infections. Gene therapy (inserting new, healthy genes into a cell) may be a possible treatment option in the future. However, further research is necessary before it is a standard treatment option for SCID patients.
Gene therapy is a viable option for patients with XL-SCID or ADA-deficient SCID who have no HLA-identical sibling. Treatment is optimally given before age 4 months to reduce the risks of failed gene transduction and leukemia. Murine studies suggest that gene therapy may work for JAK3 and RAG2 mutations as well.
